Alice- chat bot

I chose Alice robot, because it is very easy to access. When I tried to chat
with jabberwacky, it was very slow and I had to wait to get the answer.Although
jabberwacky has some tools like showing your emotions on the button, Alice is
more simple . Two chat boxes has some mistakes that they use
some slang like silly. Although this tool can be provided to the
students to learn English, those slangs cause them to learn it in a bad way. If
a student want to improve his/ her English , one has no need for finding
a native friend or somebody else. This chat box provides this situation. It is
a robot' speech which looks like a human's talk. While I am teaching English,
the time for conversation may be limited ,so I can give homework to talk about
whatever the topic is with this tool. For example , İf ı taught past tense to
the students, I can ask them to talk to the machine by using past tense
,copy the dialogue and bring it to me. The students can learn from this tool new
patterns.

When I will be a teacher, I want to
create a chat bot for me. Therefore students can go into conversation with me.
It looks like a real life situation more. Moreover, students can learn the
colourful patterns below.
